RRBuilders strives to build homes that help homeowners reap the benefits of investing in a high performance, “green” home. This can encompass several factors related to energy and resource efficiency, healthier living, increased comfort, and overall consideration of the environment.

Now’s the ideal time of year for some important household tasks to avoid problems during winter, keep appliances and equipment working at peak performance, and be ready when spring comes! Use our handy checklist for keeping track of what needs to be done.

The traditional-looking shingle-style facade, covered porches on the outside make for a warm welcome to the residents and visitors. Once inside, modern technology and aesthetics provide luxury, comfort and convenience

It’s been great seeing how mobile device technology, home automation and monitoring systems, and advances in building materials have enhanced convenience, safety, security, sustainability, and enjoyment for our clients. All while bringing a whole new world of sleek and sophisticated design options for interior and exterior living spaces! Some trends that early-adopters have embraced are becoming “must haves”.

The day has come when you’re ready to add that special sanctuary to your home – your dream media room. Whether converting an existing space or adding something new, today’s construction, technology and design options along with a well-qualified builder can make your wishes come true.

When building or remodeling a home, lighting is one of those features that makes quite an impact, from the moment a person sees the house to enjoying the rooms within, to maximizing outdoor entertaining areas. The fixtures themselves can be bold, stylish and “make a statement” or can be hidden from view so it’s the light itself that showcases the home’s features.

Establishing a strong partnership with the architect from pre-construction through completion helps to keep projects on time, within budget, and finished to the client’s delight! Aside from the logistical aspects of communicating well with the architect, there’s the priceless benefit of making the whole process easier and less stressful for the client.

Part of a serene living experience centers around how your home works for you. Most newly built homes, as well as older homes with recent updates and retrofits, have at least some features that fall under the “Smart Home” umbrella.

What does your dream include? Maybe you’d like an expansive patio with seating vignettes and a chef’s kitchen, covered or screened in as needed to maximize comfort, a gazebo, a bar, or a secluded hideaway to unwind from busy days.

As custom builders, we thrive on crafting luxurious homes that merge beauty, comfort, and extra “wow” factors. However, for us infrastructure geeks, those wows often originate from building methods promoting efficiency, safety, and convenience.

When building or renovating the custom homes we specialize in, it’s all about making a homeowner’s dream home come to life. Sometimes the finished house is the culmination of years of daydreaming and planning before we even get involved.

Today’s custom homes can include many features and materials that make for a better environmental footprint, while still being magnificent to live in! The key is to use high performance techniques and technologies, which help homeowners save resources and significantly lower utility bills.
